I intend to audition a Quad 909 (140w X 2) power amp in my 705 based HT/music system to improve the 2ch sound. While I am waiting for one to become available for audition I would be interested if anyone else has tried this amp with B&Ws.
system is
Nad T562 DVD
Marantz 7300ose (110 watt)
705 & HTM7 & Rel Strata 5
I intend to use my Marantz as the pre-amp for the front left and right speakers. Apart from wanting to sweeten the 2 channel sound, I am hoping to tame the 705s tweeter. The highs are fine for movies but I would like a smoother sound for CDs. The reviews of the Quad suggest that it may achieve a nice synergy with the small B&Ws. http://www.stereotimes.com/amp081602.shtm
140watts may be more than the 705s need but I have read that they benefit from the best electronics that you can afford to throw at them. A decent power amp would also be useful should I go for towers in the future.
Any Quad-rupeds out there?
